new kitten Needs a name though. She's female. We were thinking Ruby, as in Ruby Red, as she has a red streak down her back. Ideas?
Our existing dog is named Roark and our existing cat is named Bachik (kiss in Armenian.)
All names that got rejected before we found out my mom's new cat is actually male - I kept trying to tell my mom I thought it was a boy cat - he's long haired and you can't see anything but I could feel something going on back there. The vet said he's either been neutered OR both of his testicles didn't drop. He's now named Otto and I occasionally call him One Nut.
I like Ruby and Red would work, too. And as court siem said, she does have a bit of Marty Feldman going on eyes-wise. Suggestions: Marti, Martie, Martika, Martina, Martha.
Ruby's a good name. Cats respond well to two-syllable names ending in -y. By 'respond' I mean they learn their name so they can turn their ears towards the sound when you call them, then studiously ignore you.
